Though the idea might sound like a long shot, Norway isn’t the only country considering the switch to green-energy vehicles. India plans to switch entirely to electric cars by 2030, while the Netherlands is considering the same proposal as their European counterpart by 2025.

But Norway’s stance on green energy is an interesting one. Though the Scandinavian country generates more than 90 per cent of its energy from renewable hydropower, it is also Europe’s largest petroleum producer. Fossil fuels make up 45 per cent of Norway’s exports and 20 per cent of its GDP.

There are reports that some conservative party representatives have been uncertain about the proposal.
